L'assignatura serà impartida en català i castellà indistintament. Some contents of the subject will be in English such as: audiovisual content, support material and scientific articles.

The student must be able to use this material to achieve the objectives of the subject.

This course offers the possibility for the student to obtain basic knowledge about the development of the healthy child and the different conditions that we can treat as health professionals. The future professional of Physiotherapy needs to have this knowledge to better understand the complexity of the care relationship and to be able to use strategies and skills that allow him to carry out effective and human interventions.

The main objective of the subject is to help the student to acquire the basic knowledge of childhood, so that he is able to recognize the functions and structures, level of activity and participation. As well as achieving a greater understanding of the variants in the development of the child as a whole.

This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development

MD1 Expository method or master lesson: transmit knowledge and activate the student's cognitive processes through one-way learning

MD2 Case study: acquire learning through the analysis of real or simulated cases

MD3 Solving exercises and problems: exercise, rehearse and put into practice the previous knowledge

MD5 Project-oriented learning: carrying out a project to solve a problem, applying acquired skills and knowledge

MD6 Cooperative learning: Foster active and meaningful knowledge cooperatively

The system for assessing the acquisition of skills will be as follows:

The student must pass all assessment activities with a 5 in order to make an average and obtain the final grade.

The practical classes are mandatory attendance (at least 80%), it is a requirement to pass the subject. If this 80% is not met, the subject will be suspended for the following year.

Failure to attend or submit assignments within the established deadline may be graded at 0 and will not be recoverable. The proposed assessment activities are mandatory.

Recovery:

Within the same course, there is the possibility to recover only the portfolio. According to current regulations, you can only opt for recovery if the subject has been suspended.

If the grade is Not Presented, you will not be eligible for Recovery.

If the student does not attend 80% of the practical classes, you do not have the right to recover the portfolio.
